Plastics Industry Software for efficient, seamless end-to-end processes
With intelligent software for the plastics processing industry, COSMO CONSULT connects processes based on Microsoft technologies into seamless end-to-end workflows. This creates a reliable basis for decision-making across all process stages.
The success formula for digitalization in the plastics industry: innovative products, connected processes, and AI
When research and development, design, manufacturing and quality assurance operate in separate silos, potential often goes untapped. Those who want to stay ahead in injection moulding or extrusion today need seamless transitions from idea to finished product. Our plastics industry software uses the Microsoft platform to connect recipe development, design, materials management, production and quality control through consistent data. Together, we create the conditions for less waste, faster approvals and a team that makes confident decisions for sustainable growth on the basis of transparent data.
Our integrated ERP industry solution for plastics processing supports hybrid manufacturing. It connects process manufacturing and discrete manufacturing as well as further processes in seamless end-to-end workflows. This creates continuous workflows that connect all departments. And your digitalisation becomes a genuine competitive advantage. For this purpose, we provide additional suitable solutions from the Microsoft portfolio:
- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and CRM for central control
- Microsoft Copilot for intelligent day-to-day support
- Microsoft Azure Cloud for a secure and scalable foundation
- Microsoft Power BI for clear reporting and transparency

How we support plastics processing along the value chain
AI for the plastics industry & advanced analytics: Your data accelerator
A sensor detects a minimal deviation in viscosity before the tolerance limit is reached. Artificial intelligence immediately compares the value against the entire corporate knowledge base and provides production management with a clear course of action. The result: quality is secured before the first scrap piece is produced.
With AI and Advanced Analytics, you can fully exploit the potential of your production data. Whether key metrics such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) or predictive maintenance are required – with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft Copilot and solutions such as COSMO Analytics Manufacturing or COSMO Analytics Quality Control, data becomes a genuine competitive advantage.
Through the intelligent connection of ERP, AI for the plastics industry, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Business Intelligence (BI), you identify patterns before they become problems. This allows you to optimise your processes and make decisions based on solid facts in real time, rather than relying on gut feeling alone. This means you benefit from:
- Greater efficiency across all workflows
- Minimal downtime through predictive maintenance
- A competitive edge through a continuously learning production environment
Mixed Manufacturing Methods (Hybrid Manufacturing): Digitalisation for Injection Moulding and Extrusion
Unified data foundation for formulas and bills of materials
The combination of batch and parts manufacturing frequently generates large volumes of data. This information is often distributed or redundant, making maintenance more difficult.
COSMO ERP Plastics brings batch manufacturing and discrete manufacturing together in a single, unified solution: recipes, bills of materials and work plans are managed centrally. This enables you to control complex production processes with flexibility while maintaining full visibility at all times – from development through to delivery.
Seamless data flows & less rework
With this approach, media breaks become a thing of the past. Since all information is consolidated centrally, your team works far more accurately and the need for rework is significantly reduced. Our plastics industry software ensures faster product releases and a production that runs right first time.
Cloud & Data Security: Your formulas are in safe hands
Microsoft Azure: Security by Design – Data security at the highest level
Your sensitive production data is in the best possible hands with us. Hosting the plastics industry software and further applications on Microsoft Azure Cloud guarantees maximum security through security by design, seamless encryption, precise access control and regular backups. This ensures you meet all requirements for data protection and compliance – from the GDPR to specific standards within the plastics industry. Your digital infrastructure remains protected at all times and meets the highest security requirements. Your benefits:
- Maximum data security through state-of-the-art cloud technology
- Legally compliant processes in accordance with applicable regulations
- Continuous availability of your systems
Technical and organizational measures (TOMs)
Availability and recoverability form the foundation for the stable operation of your software solutions and IT systems in the plastics industry. With detailed permissions, the corresponding TOMs and automated processes, your production remains secure and transparent even in the event of disruptions. At the same time, your recipes, inspection plans and trade secrets are reliably protected against unauthorised access.
Quality assurance & audit readiness: Always one step ahead
- Automated inspection data capture in quality control: Error sources in quality assurance are reduced and quality processes are accelerated.
- Automated certificate generation & complete traceability: Your organisation is audit-ready at all times and compliance is demonstrable – giving business partners and authorities greater security and confidence.
- Integrated quality workflows: Quality assurance from incoming goods inspection through to delivery, along with integrated quality management, safeguards the high quality standards of your products.
- Straightforward audit preparation: Digital documentation ensures all evidence is available at any time. This means your next audit can be prepared in no time at all.
